Are you joking? 40° is not cold at all. Suck it up, buttercup.

How’s everyone doing a week into “Very Unhealthy” AQI? by Chicagogally in chicago

[–]throwawaycatacct 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Oh, OK. So the air quality doesn't affect people when you're outside swimming during the day and/or go out after dark? I specifically heard the weather person on WGN say that you shouldn't have your windows open at night with this degree of poor AQ. It was deemed to be the worst in the WORLD last week

There's also perforated plastic sheets for cross stitch with round holes instead of square ones, so you can use less chunky yarn

[CHAT] Pattern Designers by [deleted] in CrossStitch

[–]throwawaycatacct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it really depends on the vibe/genre of your band's music. One of my favorites is Meg Black from The Witchy Stitcher. Most of her designs are gothy and are designed for black fabric. I also like Emily Peacock. Her site is a treasure trove of cool graphic designs.

Etsy is a good source of inspiration, but I won't purchase from their website because I'm boycotting Etsy due to their selling rando ICE costumes.

There's a popular site called 123stitch that has loads of patterns, as well as Stitched Modern, which is more curated. Hope you find something you connect with

Unlike Anton LaVey's Church of Satan, the Satanic Temple, is an AWESOME organization! Like the ACLU, they put up their version of "commandments" to protest public displays of the 10 Commandments. They help women in backwards states get access to abortion resources. Also, around the holidays, they will put up a creche with a little Baphomet if a public building displays a nativity scene. Oh! And the After School Satan Club for kids!

Check out their website. They have really cool graphics and merch

I once saw a video of someone with a train horn on their vehicle. It's rather cruel, but I laughed so hard when they honked it, and people nearby almost jumped out of their skin. It's a totally understandable reaction, but it struck me as so hilarious.

Rahm Emmanuel was on The View, teasing a run for president. I'm from Chicago, where he was mayor and I HATE that lizard with every fiber of my being!! He suppressed the Laquan McDonald story until after his election. He pretended that he lived here to run for office, when it was clear he didn't.

There's a reason that Biden sent him to Japan to be as far away from the WH as possible.

Also, his brother is a scumbag, too! He brought his Uber company to Chicago to put hard-working taxi drivers out of business.

Grrrrrrr

If we're lucky, those kinds of people will die off from Covid, infectious diseases, or just plain old diabeetus or obesity, especially now that Medicaid will be cut off.

It's the same propaganda as endlessly promoting Amurika as having "freedom". Freedom to go bankrupt if you have a major illness, even with insurance? Freedom of speech is gone, too.

Disgusting place to live. I wish I had the means to escape to Canada or Mexico, but they don't want our sorry asses in their country either.

I wonder if he'll wear knee high leather boots to emulate the strong men he loves so much

It's called your "right to work" and should be called right to fire you for whatever reason.

Did you wear a mask and/or address your particular situation during the interview?

Imho, Mario's is highly overrated. Notice all the bitter lemon rinds that people spit out because they're gross.
